But what is its history, and why is it so significant to so many religious followers? Join Friends of Al-Aqsa at the Muslim LitFest on the 4-5 of November for an eye-opening discussion on Masjid Al-Aqsa, in light of current events.

Spotlight: Palestine Reads with Shereen Malherbe With the current crisis in Gaza and Palestine, one aspect that has become increasingly apparent is the dehumanisation of Palestinian lives. But what if more people had access to books that represented a more authentic Palestine, a way of bringing their story to life? Shereen Malherbe is a British-Palestinian author who appeared on the BBC History Documentary, The Holy Land and Us: Our Untold Stories, earlier this year. With her own powerful family history and links to the 1948 Nakba, Shereen is dedicated to rewriting the narrative around Palestine and preserving its heritage. Check out her own Palestine-inspired novels and unique children’s book series featuring tatreez (Palestinian embroidery)!
